Analysis and classification of Eti Mine Kirka Boron Works wastes

In this study, analysis and classification of samples which were taken wastes produced concentrator plant and open pit works in Eti Mine Kırka Boron Works was performed.Industrial boron wastes aren?t being evaluated enough in terms of technological and economical in our country. For the evaluation of this wastes first of all, their analyses and classification must be done. Also this results will enlighten further scientific researches. For this purpose X-RF, X-RD, TGA-DTA and ICP-OES analyses are performed. In this study waste samples are classified in four groups. These groups are;?S1, S3 and S4: CaMg(CO3)2Dolomite?S2 and S9: Na2B4O7.5H2OTincalconite?S5, S6 and S7: Na2B4O5(OH)4.8H2OBorax?S8: KAlSi3O8Potassium feldspat
